Will you join us at @wcpremoutlets on October 14th? Over 10,000 walkers came out in 2017 and this year, you could be one of them. Make an impact by signing up and fundraising to save more lives from breast cancer. See you in October!

With the support of events like the CIBC Run for the Cure and organizations dedicated to ending breast cancer, we have seen change. Mortality rates for breast cancer are 44% lower than their peak in the mid 1980s and approximately 87% of people diagnosed with breast cancer are expected to live five years beyond their diagnosis.

I had to pause and take the opportunity to share this information! Please, everyone do your research!!! I'm a strong advocate of this! Understand the background of the product, the difference...is it legal? Not all CBD is legal! There has to be industrialized hemp used to produce it and there has to be low levels of THC (if any) to be legal! Educate, educate, educate!!!

After 7 months, 8 surgeries, 3 hospital stays, 16 hours of chemo, and 35 rounds of radiation of 7 weeks, today was @helpskipbeatcancer ’s last treatment! Thanks to amazing doctors, nurses, dentists, surgeons, friends old and new, acquaintances and of course, family, we have made it to this day. Prayers, encouragement, thoughts, light, energy, fundraisers, shows, music, babysitting our kids, free meals- you’ve done it all and have been standing with Skip. It’s so good to know others love and value him like I do. Thank you ! #skipbeatscancer#squamouscellcarcinoma#cancersucks#ihatecancer#chemotherapy#radiationtherapy#sanantonio#uthscsa

New posts and drop down menus!
I’m very excited that I’ve worked out how to make drop down menus…it’s been bugging me for weeks that I couldn’t work it out but 3 youtube videos and a lot of swearing later…I’ve done it!! Also added a new blog post from both of us 🙂 now just need to work out how to email people when we update the blog. That may take a while longer!! Hover over Jam’s Blog for @jambob1 latest piece “Ducks, Miami and emotions”
Hover over KJ’s Blog for her latest piece “Stop the bus, I want to get off” (Warning…neither are particularly easy reading, it’s been a tough week, we could have pretended that it wasn’t but that’s not us)

Thank you, Valerie, for your kind words about Camp Rainbow Gold. It is always heartwarming to see people from our community be touched by our message. Read the full statement below: (Repost from @snappy_king Instagram) "Finding ways to serve and lift and share is integral not only to my business but a habit I'm striving to create. Every once in a while I am presented with growth opportunities that push me out of my comfort zone. Yesterday was one of those days when I learned about Camp Rainbow Gold. This group of incredible individuals allows children with cancer to go to summer camp...and still get the treatments they need and make friends with kids just like them and build a community that helps them know that they aren't alone. There are also camps for their siblings who often times become caregivers while parents are away working to compensate for the extra hospital bills. There are camps for the families to be able to take a breath and reconnect with each other and safely create precious memories. Camp rainbow gold is just that...golden. Dig in and see for yourself. They could use your support.."

Letting go...⠀
.⠀
I used to hold on to so many things. I could name every time someone had hurt me. 💔 But because of cancer I had no choice but to let go. I had no control over my body and what was happening. I had to let go of a part of that body. It taught me to focus on what's important: That I'm alive ☄⠀
.⠀
So now I can let go of things so easily. If it no longer serves me or if it's not working for me anymore... I release it from my life 💫
.⠀
Lot's of people ask me how to do this, how to let go? I don't have an answer that works for everyone, but I feel like intention is the beginning of it all. So each day you set your intention to letting go. And every day it will be released a little more until you're no longer holding on to something that doesn't serve you⠀
.⠀
It takes work and it takes time. But once you do, it feels sooooo amazing! I promise you! 🤞⠀

Long Post:: I’ve been getting so many DMs about my fight & so I can just assume this can answer most of the questions! A few years ago I was diagnosed with an aggressive NHL things took off pretty fast with Surgeries & Chemo! I was mad boy was I mad, I kept asking God why me But no answer. I was stuck feeling like I could no longer be happy or myself. But then I got pregnant with our 2nd son & against dr orders I stopped treatment to have him. I couldn’t help but rejoice because God had brought this little boy into our lives for a reason. I had prayed & prayed & finally It hit me I stopped asking why me & started saying why not me? Crazy question I know but the answers were all there It is me because I could keep the Faith, I could Find the Joy in everything, & I could win!! I praise God everyday even during this struggle because I know He brings Victory!! Is it painful, Yes everyday. Is it scary, Yes!! But our God is more powerful & I find my Peace in that! I remain Joyful because I know the devils biggest weapon is to make us worry, worry causes you to doubt your faith & I do not have a doubt in my mind about the Love God has for us. I have an amazing husband, 2boys, & some Crazy strong supporters in my corner!! I recently started some all natural diet changes & a fitness class to get my body stronger in efforts to cure this devils disease one day!! I could go on & on but this is a summary for all you who have asked!! Thanks for following my journey!! #cancersucks#cancercantstopme#curecancernaturally

I was feeling low yesterday. I put on my favorite track jacket to help me channel my inner East African, marathon warrior, 🏃🏿‍♀️🏃🏿‍♀️🏃🏿‍♀️💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾. It helped a little. I had a long day of appointments at the hospital and it gave me time to reflect on what’s next with my treatment. After chemo comes radiation. For four weeks I’ll get radiation once a day, five days a week, that’s 20 rounds of radiation. It’s a commitment. I was told the appointments won’t be long and I’m grateful for that. But it does seem like a marathon, a whole month of going to the hospital like it’s a job. (I’m so not down for it) The upside is I won’t have to deal with nausea, bone pain, neuropathy and my hair will start growing back! I’m really excited to have eyebrows again. Honestly so excited that it makes me giggle...
Anyways, I’ve been thinking a lot about how I’m going to get through the next phase. And it’s all about joy. Joy truly is found in small everyday moments. I’m going to spend a lot of time in the hospital for a good year. But that doesn’t mean I won’t have opportunities for lots of small joyful moments with the people I love. It’s going to take a little while for my heart to catch up with my thoughts, and maybe a few days for my mood to pick up again. But until it does I have to remember to be grateful for all the good things in my life. I also have to be more intentional about self-care. Being kind to myself, the way I am to my friends is my goal for the week. It’s all about #selflove ❤️
